Know about the book -
The Body in Tolkien's Legendarium is written by Christopher Vaccaro and published by McFarland. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 147660388X (ISBN 10) and 9781476603889 (ISBN 13).
The timely collection of essays is thematically unified around the subject of corporeality. Its theoretical underpinnings emerge out of feminist, foucauldian, patristic and queer hermeneutics. The book is organized into categories specific to transformation, spirit versus body, discourse, and source material. More than one essay focuses on female bodies and on the monstrous or evil body. While Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is central to most analyses, authors also cover The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and material in The History of Middle-earth.
